Dannaz host Valiant in one of match week five games in the TCC League this weekend.
It is a Lagos derby between two sides who are currently enduring a poor start to the 2022/23 season. Dannaz have not found things easy at all. Bar the win over Dino, they have lost three of their opening four games, while Valiant have also lost the same amount of games.
One striking stat also is that the two teams have scored same number of goals in the league this term, while Valiant have conceded just two more (10) than their Saturday opponents.
Valiant won their first-ever league meeting last season and are currently enjoying some good vein of form. In all competitions (againt Sporting and Beyond Limits), they have avoided defeat and scored four goals.
On the other hand, the Cedars have struggled to find the back of the net on their travels but did score three in their first home game of the season (v Dino SC) and will be hoping for a repeat against the Brave Boys.
STAT ATTACK
Valiant are winless in their previous three Lagos derby games in the league. Shy

MAN TO WATCH
Paul Aderibigbe (Dannaz)
He has scored in his past two games in all comps for the Cedars and could be the difference when these two teams clash on Saturday.
